Incumbent Tyler faced a rematch against [[Alvin Peschke]] ([[Republican|R]]), but Peschke only won 34 percent of the vote in their 2011 match-up. Although President [[Barack Obama]] ([[Democratic|D]]) won 62 percent of the vote in this district in 2012, [[Governor of Virginia|Governor]] [[Bob McDonnell]] ([[Republican|R]]) nearly won a bare majority of the vote in 2009 in this rural district, and depending on voter turnout, Peschke had the potential to make this race more competitive than the 2011 cycle.

Scorecards

Legislative scorecards are used to evaluate elected public officials based on voting record. Some scorecards are created by political advocacy groups with a focus on specific issues, while others are developed by newspapers and are broad in scope. Scorecards are meant to be used as a tool for voters to have a quick picture of whether their views align with a particular legislator's record.

Because scorecards can be specific to particular issues or general to a state’s legislative term, for example, each report should be considered on its own merits. Each entity that publishes these reports uses different methodologies and definitions for the terms used.
